This isn’t the first time that Team Poison has targeted the United Nations.

Back in November 2011, the group once again compromised networks belonging to the United Nations, and leaked usernames and passwords. Team Poison is also known to have participated in the Anonymous-backed operation Operation Robin Hood – “Operation Robin Hood will take credit cards and donate to the 99% as well as various charities around the globe. The banks will be forced to reimburse the people their money back.”

The UN has been notified of the incident and is currently investigating.
